The Prize Presentation in the Grand Final of Series 86.

Tom Stevenson holding the Richard Whiteley Memorial Trophy after winning Series 86.

Series 86 ran fron 20 June to 23 December 2022. It was also the series which marked the show’s 40th birthday celebrations. The series was won by the record-breaking No. 1 seed Tom Stevenson, who beat No. 2 seed Edward Byrne in the final. This was also the first series since Series 81 to do the prize presentation and the first to do it without the OED (since they were scrapped at the end of Series 83).

Series 86 is unique in that it had 8 presenters, 5 of whom were debutants in the host role. Most editions were hosted by Colin Murray, who returned on the 19th episode of the series, succeeding Anne Robinson after she quit the show with immediate effect. It is the first series to have more than 2 presenters.

The 19th episode of this series saw the return of the clock starter button for Murray and, for his first 15 episodes of this series, the return of nine-letter Teatime Teasers (after which they reverted to eight letters). In addition, Murray continued selecting the contestants’ declarations and answers based on who he thought finished first, rather than sticking to traditional order (as he did in his 2020 Christmas specials and Series 83 shows).

COVID-19 affected some episodes; Susie Dent did not appear in the first three episodes due to contracting the virus, during which Robert Rinder sat in as guest lexicographer (as he did for the last two shows of the previous series). Murray himself tested positive on the Monday of his second recording block, and so two new stand-in presenters took his place. The first of these was Les Dennis, covering for Monday and Tuesday's eight episodes between 4 and 15 August 2022 (and his Coronation Street co-star Daniel Brocklebank being brought in as an emergency stand-in guest for the first three of these). He was succeeded by Jenny Eclair, covering for Wednesday's four episodes between 16 and 19 August 2022, and filming remaining three episodes behind for the remainder of the series. Dent also missed six consecutive episodes towards the end of the series. She was said to be unwell by Murray for the first five, but she missed the sixth for unspecified reasons.

After Monday 19 September 2022 was declared a bank holiday and national day of mourning for Queen Elizabeth II, the episodes in its week were postponed by one day, shifting the week's broadcasts from Monday-Friday to Tuesday-Saturday.

Murray took a 4-week on-screen hiatus for Countdown’s 40th birthday. In his absence, 4 guest presenters hosted the show, each occupying a week of shows. The hosts were Floella Benjamin, Richard Coles, Trevor McDonald and Moira Stuart. Murray then returned to host the remainder of the series, up to and including the finals. Like Anne Robinson, McDonald and Stuart did not start the clock by themselves in their appearances.

This series saw the highest score achieved on Countdown. In his fourth appearance, Stevenson scored 154 points, breaking Elliott Mellor’s 3-year record by 2 points.

On 24 October, the 2-metre distancing between lexicographer and guest in Dictionary Corner – enforced due to the outbreak of COVID-19 – was ditched after two years, and replaced with 1-metre distancing. This change also saw the desk revert to its original symmetrical design.

Apterites Graham Harrison, Edward Byrne, Damian McEvoy, John Aziz, Jite Ighorodje, Mark O'Brien, Jack Davies, Joseph Bartram, Niall Waters, Alan Young, Tom Stevenson, Sean Mowat, James Bradley, Geoff Hoare, Christy Cooper, Joe Dobinson, Adam Fleetwood, Michael Nicholson, Peter Burke, and Sam Manojlovic appeared in this series, with Manojlovic becoming a member after filming.

Almost all episodes of this series are available to stream on Channel 4.

-'''Series 86''' is the current [[Series Winners|series]] of ''[[Countdown]]'' and the last to feature [[Anne Robinson]] as [[presenter]], with most editions presented by [[Colin Murray]].
+[[File:Presentation S86.png|thumb|250px|right|The Prize Presentation in the Grand Final of Series 86.]]

+'''Series 86''' ran fron 20 June to 23 December 2022. It was also the series which marked the show’s 40th birthday celebrations. The series was won by the record-breaking No. 1 seed [[Tom Stevenson]], who beat No. 2 seed [[Edward Byrne]] in the final.
+This was also the first series since [[Series 81]] to do the prize presentation and the first to do it without the [[Oxford English Dictionary|OED]] (since they were scrapped at the end of [[Episode 7538|Series 83]]).
-After announcing her immediate departure from the show on 2 May 2022, Robinson's last episode will air on 13 July 2022. Murray will temporarily take over from 14 July for at least 75 episodes, as announced on his Twitter feed. [https://twitter.com/ColinMurray/status/1523962488009764868]. It remains to be known whether he or someone else will host, either temporarily or permanently, beyond this.
+Series 86 is unique in that it had 8 [[presenter|presenters]], 5 of whom were debutants in the host role. Most editions were hosted by [[Colin Murray]], who returned on the [[Episode 7805|19th episode of the series]], succeeding [[Anne Robinson]] after she quit the show with immediate effect. It is the first series to have more than 2 presenters.
-[[Susie Dent]] did not appear in the first three episodes, due to contracting COVID-19. [[Episode 7796]] aired two minutes earlier due to live F1, so at 2:09 instead of 2:11.
+The 19th episode of this series saw the return of the clock starter button for Murray and, for his first 15 episodes of this series, the return of nine-letter [[Teatime Teaser]]s (after which they reverted to eight letters). In addition, Murray continued selecting the contestants’ declarations and answers based on who he thought finished first, rather than sticking to traditional order (as he did in his 2020 Christmas specials and [[Series 83]] shows).
-Apterites [[Graham Harrison]] and [[Edward Byrne]] have appeared in this series, with fellow Apterite [[Damian McEvoy]] due to appear later in this series.
+COVID-19 affected some episodes; [[Susie Dent]] did not appear in the first three episodes due to contracting the virus, during which [[Robert Rinder]] sat in as guest [[lexicographer]] (as he did for the last two shows of [[Series 85|the previous series]]). Murray himself tested positive on the Monday of his second recording block, and so two new stand-in presenters took his place. The first of these was [[Les Dennis]], covering for Monday and Tuesday's eight episodes between 4 and 15 August 2022 (and his ''Coronation Street'' co-star [[Daniel Brocklebank]] being brought in as an emergency stand-in guest for the first three of these). He was succeeded by [[Jenny Eclair]], covering for Wednesday's four episodes between 16 and 19 August 2022, and filming remaining three episodes behind for the remainder of the series. Dent also missed six consecutive episodes towards the end of the series. She was said to be unwell by Murray for the first five, but she missed the sixth for unspecified reasons.
-==Current Standings==
+After Monday 19 September 2022 was declared a bank holiday and national day of mourning for {{w|Queen Elizabeth II}}, the episodes in its week were postponed by one day, shifting the week's broadcasts from Monday-Friday to Tuesday-Saturday.
+Murray took a 4-week on-screen hiatus for ''[[Countdown]]''’s 40th birthday. In his absence, 4 guest presenters hosted the show, each occupying a week of shows. The hosts were [[Floella Benjamin]], [[Richard Coles]], [[Trevor McDonald]] and [[Moira Stuart]]. Murray then returned to host the remainder of the series, up to and including the finals. Like Anne Robinson, McDonald and Stuart did not start the clock by themselves in their appearances.
+This series saw the highest score achieved on ''[[Countdown]]''. In his fourth appearance, Stevenson scored [[Episode 7860|154 points]], breaking [[Elliott Mellor]]’s 3-year record by 2 points.
+On [[Episode 7877|24 October]], the 2-metre distancing between [[lexicographer]] and guest in [[Dictionary Corner]] – enforced due to the outbreak of COVID-19 – was ditched after two years, and replaced with 1-metre distancing. This change also saw the desk revert to its original symmetrical design.
+[[Apterous|Apterites]] [[Graham Harrison]], Edward Byrne, [[Damian McEvoy]], [[John Aziz]], [[Jite Ighorodje]], [[Mark O'Brien]], [[Jack Davies]], [[Joseph Bartram]], [[Niall Waters]], [[Alan Young]], Tom Stevenson, [[Sean Mowat]], [[James Bradley]], [[Geoff Hoare]], [[Christy Cooper]], [[Joe Dobinson]], [[Adam Fleetwood]], [[Michael Nicholson]], [[Peter Burke]], and [[Sam Manojlovic]] appeared in this series, with Manojlovic becoming a member after filming.
+Almost all episodes of this series are available to stream on Channel 4.
